Smithsonian Craft Show

The 2018 Smithsonian Craft Show took place Apr. 26-29 at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. It featured 120 American artists working with wood, ceramics, fiber, glass, leather, metal, paper and other media.

For the first time, the show highlighted Asian cultural influence on American crafts. “The show seeks to engage the public through educational and artistic components that complement the theme “Asian Influence/American Design.” Many of today’s top U.S. artists creating cutting-edge art are reconnecting American modernism to its roots in Asian culture,” the show said in a statement.
